Sky stealing money maybe?

[themiz]

I subscribed to NowTV which is powered by Sky , they took my first month payment straight away via my debit card. Within 24 hours Sky decided to deactivate my account they are claiming i owe them money.

I have never had Sky before as i've always been with Virgin media.

I asked NowTV for a refund and am now being sent on a merry dance.

Am i right in thinking Sky have to fully refund me the money they took as it was them who cancelled the service not me?

Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is yes but I would want to know why they thought you owed them money. If they have mistaken you for someone else then they are in big trouble should you persue the matter to its end.

Get on to sky and ask for proof of the supposed debt and then check your credit refence files to see if there is anything there. Common errors are with people having similar name and living nearby doing a runner and then account assigned to your address. laziness by debt recovery agencies normally so you might have to do a bit of stick waving but you would be entitled to recover your "loss of amenity" from whoever put the duff info into the system.

I find this very strange.

 

Nowtv has a completely different customer base to sky subscribers and have never heard of them terminating any nowtv customer for this reason.

 

If they do terminate then they will provide a refund for the remainder of the months term.

NowTv told me to contact Sky , Sky told me to contact NowTV , Skys CEO offce said they can't help me either.

Here is the e-mail i got back of nowtv also i posted the email from ceo office and from sky too.

Thanks for getting in contact with us.

 

 

It appears your NOW TV account has been blocked by Sky. While you have out-standing issues with Sky you can not use any Sky services.

 

 

You would need to contact Sky customer services to resolve the issue before continuing with your NOW TV Subscription.

 

 

Thanks

I'm guessing the payment to NowTV was made with a card?

Contact the card provider and tell them to do a Chargeback to get the money back to you.
